From the Studio: James Lowe and the Spokane Symphony's "Messiah" performances for 2026

James Lowe

Part of the tradition of the Spokane Symphony's holiday offerings is a series of typically sold-out performances of George Frideric Handel's "Messiah" at St. John's cathedral in Spokane. A new addition to that tradition this year is an added performance in Idaho at Sandpoint's Panida Theater. James Lowe and Jim Tevenan talk about "Messiah," the logistics of away-from-home performances, and the very busy Symphony season in the year's last months.
